Years later, her Korean-ness behind her, Helena had everything a model minority was supposed to want: she was married to a white American doctor and had abeautiful home, two children, and a career as an assistant professor of pediatrics. For decades she fulfilled the expectations of others. All the while Helena kept silent about the traumas--both professional and personl--that left her anxious yet determined to escape. It would take a catastrophic event for Helena to abandon her career at the age of forty, recover her Korean identity, and set in motion a journey of self-discovery. In her powerful and moving memoir, Helena Rho reveals the courage it took tobreak away from the path that was laid out for her, to assert her presence, and to discover the freedom and joy of finally being herself"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rho, Helena. 650 0 $a Korean American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $v Biography 650 0 $a Koreans $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Korean Americans $z Korea (South) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women pediatricians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women authors, American $v Biography. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20220712011511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0CC0149A01A811EDB8EAEDD844ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
